faba Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Jaguars will release Dwight Lowery today Posted by Mike Florio on November 4, 2013, 10:16 AM EST AP A blindside hit from Seahawks receiver Golden Tate gave Jaguars safety Dwight Lowery a concussion that landed Lowery on injured reserve. At some point today, the Jaguars will release Lowery, according to league sources. Players on injured reserve can be released when the team deems the player to be healthy. The player can disagree and file a grievance, or the two sides can work out an injury settlement. Lowery will pass through the waiver system after he has been released, since the trade deadline has come and gone. In his sixth season, Lowery spent three seasons with the Jets and three with the Jaguars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He;s one of those guys who has a nose for the ball. I always liked him. Not as the starter but you could do much worse than to have him run on the field in Dime packages.

Maxman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I liked him as a Safety when he was here. But I am surprised by Antonio Allen and the other Landry brother lol. They have been better than I thought they would be. The also seem to know how to mix in Jarrett at the right time as well. I would be surprised if they looked at Lowery again.

#27TheDominator Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I always liked Lowery and thought he'd be a good guy to convert to safety, but he makes $3M a year and I think he still feels he is injured. I'm all for kicking tires on everybody, but you don't pick this guy up off waivers for $3M per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodeawhodat Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The pats might pick him up. I think their starting safety Gregory is out at least a few weeks with a broken thumb. May not help them if Lowery is injured for a few more weeks too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he renegotiate before its over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Liked the idea until you mentioned the $$. Too much. Was that a Tanny contract? Can he renegotiate before its over? That was a Jags contract from last year. I'm pretty sure nobody is picking him off waivers for that money, especially since he is hurt and probably can't play for some time. Once he clears, he is a FA and can sign anywhere for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 At one point he was my new favorite Jet-remember him winning the game for us against Favre with that INT? MNF game I think it was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Could be a situational player in passing downs and can play the slot. Always had a nose for the football(which we could use). No idea what type of shape/health he's in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He;s one of those guys who has a nose for the ball. I always liked him. Not as the starter but you could do much worse than to have him run on the field in Dime packages. I agree. Did he play CB or FS with the Jags? If not too expensive, I'd bring him in as a backup whatever, CB and/or FS. If he can already play both, great. If not, use him in nickel and dime packages as a CB and start working him at FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I know he was costing them some $, I wonder if his injury is one meaning he can't play effectively? Since he seem a serviceable player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
